ESUT expels 107 for certificate forgery

ONE hundred and seven students have been expelled from the Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) for certificate forgery.

The students, who were at various stages of their studies, were found to have forged the National Diploma (ND) certificates they presented for Direct Entry (DE) admission.

The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof Cyprian Onyeji disclosed this at the 32nd matriculation of the university held at Agbani.

Onyeji hinted that the university senate approved the expulsion at its 238th regular meeting just ended.

While warning the fresh students to steer clear of any form of examination malpractice, the Vice-Chancellor disclosed that in the last one year, the university senate applied varied degrees of sanctions on up to 150 students for their involvement in the vice.

He said ESUT was capturing biometric data of all her students with a view to stemming the incidence of impersonation during examinations. Onyeji stressed that as from this academic session, every student would be required to undergo biometric identification in the examination halls.

To encourage hard work, the Vice-Chancellor said the university’s scholarship awaits students who make cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.50.

let them softpedal atleast for now, because if they want to go all that thourough nigerian universities will still expell up to 75 to 80% of it student for a similar offences and their likes. ie exam malpractices,sorting,etc. and those that hv graduated will still face orji uzor kalu treatment. which is having their certificate revoked by the school senate. this is niger and everything is possible. but let us remember judgement day. rest my case.
